    Need Help

    went looking to find some coil springs called a bunch of diffrent places looking for a OME 919 look alike (on a tight budget) any how. Got some info from procomp about have to adjust the rear track bar because lifting the rear would make the whole rear axle move/pull off to one side and truth behind this and can someone please help me out the finding some springs? If you need my phone number please E-mail me @ thomas.young@usmc.mil

    I've been toying around with the idea of making a panhard rod drop bracket similar to what Calmini has in their lift kit. Just never got around to it. Maybe it's time to give it a shot. I've even got a victim ... er ... volunteer to try one out who's rear axle is shifted. He's got some pretty bad bump steer too that it might solve. I'll let you know if it's gonna happen.

    u will have to talk to joe darlington at darlington off road about going that high.. to my knowledge only nervegas and destruction have gone that high.. and those were 3" suspension lifts plus body lifts for the rest

    tom i thought u already had the calmini kit? or are you thinking about making them for others based on your lift kit?

    I think you mean Matt Brown...

    IIRC, it was Matt & his crew at Independent4X that did the lift for nerve gas.http://www.vehicross.info/forums/sho...=independent4X

    Dubster strikes again. We bow to thou O' mighty finder of lost threads.

    Eric - Yup, mine already has the drop bracket on the panhard rod. It shouldn't be that hard to duplicate ... if I can find some square tube stock that suits my needs. Not really interested in starting a business tho. If it works, I'll prolly just send a sample to Joe Darlington & see if he wants to put it in his line.

    I figure, If I can't effectively use the search function myself, I can't very well tell others to use it...
